MARTYRS

The Arabic word Shaeed translated to Martyrs by many secretarian translators.  But the two words has no resemblance. This is how Mushricks deceive.

The word shahīd (شَهِيد) used 56 times in Quran and not a single times it means martyr. It always means WITNESS.  Verses are - 2.23, 2.133, 2.143, 2. 282, 3.98, 3.99, 3.140, 4.33, 4.41, 4.69, 4.72, 4.79,  4.159, 4.166, 5.8, 5.44, 5.117, 6.19, 6.144, 6.150, 16.89, 22.78, 24.4, 24.6, 24.13, 29.52, 39.69, 41.47, 46.8, 50.21, 50.37, 57.19, 85.9, 100.7.*

*Typing out all these verses will make the post too long. Hence couple of examples -*

*2.23 And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our slave, then produce a chapter [of] like it and call your WITNESSES from other than Allah if you are truthful.*

*4.41 So how (will it be) when We bring from every nation a WITNESS and We bring you against these (as) a WITNESS.*

*Some of these verses are totally falsified by mushriks to generate an invented meaning and simply changed total meaning of the verse. For example-*

*3.140 (Mustafa Khattab) - If you have suffered injuries ˹at Uḥud˺, they suffered similarly ˹at Badr˺. We alternate these days ˹of victory and defeat˺ among people so that Allah may reveal the ˹true˺ believers, choose MARTYRS from among you—and Allah does not like the wrongdoers—*

*3.140 (Correct) - If a wound afflicts you, a similar wound has afflicted other people. We alternate these days among the people, and indeed, God knows the ones who believe, and He selects WITNESSES from among you. God does not like the transgressors.*

*57.19 (Mustafa Khattab) - ˹As for˺ those who believe in Allah and His messengers, it is they who are ˹truly˺ the people of truth. And the MARTYRS, with their Lord, will have their reward and their light. But ˹as for˺ those who disbelieve and reject Our signs, it is they who will be the residents of the Hellfire.*

*57.19 (Correct)     Those who believed in God and His messengers, they are the truthful ones and are the WITNESSES at their Lord. They shall have their reward and their light. As for those who disbelieved and denied Our revelations, they are the companions of Hellfire.*

Do you see how primitive are those translations?

*SO, THERE IS NO RELATION BETWEEN SHAEED AND WHATEVER THEY MEAN BY MARTYR.*

Now, they mention some other verses to justify their falsification.

For example - 

*[2:154] And do not say of those who are KILLED in the way of Allah, "They are dead!" No, they are alive, but you do not realise it.*

*[3:169] Do not think that those who are KILLED in the way of Allah are dead. Rather, they are alive at their Lord, being provided for.*

*Read these verses along with -*

*[3:157] If you get KILLED in the way of Allah, OR DIE, the forgiveness from Allah and mercy are better than whatever they can amass.*

*[22:58] Those who emigrated in the way of Allah then got KILLED OR DIED, Allah will provide them with good provisions. Indeed, Allah is the best of providers.*

*DOES ALLAH MAKE A DIFFERENCE BWTEEN KILLED or DIED?????* 

Answer - NO.

*Way of Allah is not only fighting.  I can be migrating, Zakat, Sadaqat.... That is simply Ibadat of Allah (Serving Allah)*

To understand "They are alive at their Lord" - one needs to understand what is TIME. Read the article - "Is Jesus coming back?" to have a glimpse of TIME.*

Glory to Allah
